Oh What a Night

We managed to get tickets to see Micheal McIntyre in concert over a year ago & have had to wait patiently till last night to see him Live.
Oh boy it was certainly worth the wait he had us laughing till we cried with his observational humour.


I wont spoil it for you but we will be getting the DVD in November, it was That Good :) & would see him again if we got the chance.

Back scrapping...

...which was not as hard as I thought once I'd opened my lush September ScrapaGoGo kit 

"Manuscript Moods"

packed full of paper & embellishments plus a stamp too.

I'm really pleased how this turned out :) I inked the background of this Basic Grey paper using the JBS stencil before building up strips on the right hand side to echo the ones already on the patterned paper.

The photo is matted on glassine paper I embossed. All finished with grouped embellishments & a title.

 The photo shows the 3 volumes of diary I wrote on our recent trip to Australia, I didn't write that much ! but I've filled it with leaflets & postcards & such... I'll show you in a separate post soon.

 Many thanks for looking x

Had the machine out...

I've not been able to share this before today as the first two were a present for a lovely friend of mine Yvonne, whose birthday is today :) All you scrappers out there will recognise this material as October Afternoon. My scrappy bud Kirsty gave me the link for these drawstring bags when we spent a day quilting together & they are so easy to make that as you can see I made 3!

 These two came on holiday with us & were so useful for storing things like camera film, making them easy to find in the suitcases & in our hand luggage. The material was purchased in Joann's a couple of years ago! I can see there being an epidemic of these at our house :D

 I have another sewing day planned with Kirsty soon but I have a quilt top that needs my attention then as Harriet is eager to have it finished & in her bedroom.
